When did you decide to become an attorney? What influenced your decision?
In 2001, I was working as a police sergeant in Toledo, and I realized that what I liked most about the job was investigating and putting together cases. I was also getting tired of working third shift and sleeping in four-hour blocks of daytime hours. And although there is a lot of diversity in Toledo, even among cops, I never really fit in very well with the "culture". So I started law school in 2001 and graduated in 2004.
